ROBERT GENTSOH, OF LEIPSIO, GERMANY.

DIE FOR STAMPING OUT LABELS, 84.0.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,323, dated April16, 1901.

Application filed July 7,1900. Serial No. 22,781. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT GENTsCH,a subject of the King of Saxony,residing at Leipsic- Rendnitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony, Germany, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Dies for Stamping OutLabels and the Like, (for which I have applied for atents in Germany,dated December 9, 1899, and in France, No. 1,585, dated December 19,1899,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dies for labels and the like composed of anumber of distinct parts; and it consists, essentially, of an improvedcutter-holder for such dies which is provided with a slot for holdingthe cutters and with end flange-pieces so arranged as to enable theholders to be joined together to form various shapes of dies.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 to 9 represent various forms ofcutter-holders constructed in accordance with thisinvention. Figs. 10,11, 13, 14:, and 15 represent the cutters. Fig. 12 represents the screwfor securing the cutters in the holders. Figs. 16 to 22 show the mannerof joining the holders to form different-shapes of dies.

The die is composed of a number of cutterholders a, provided with endflange-pieces b c, by which they are secured together. These endflange-pieces can be arranged at various angles to the holders accordingto the forms of die desired. Each holder is provided with a slot throughwhich the screws f, Fig. 12,

pass for the purpose of securing the cutters g, Figs. 10, 11, 13, 14.,and 15, on either the inside or outside. The cutters can likewise begiven any form desired according to the shape of die required, and theyare made of a tapering form in cross-section, as shown in Figs. 11 and14.

If, for example, it is desired to form a die for stamping circularlabels, it will only be necessary to join together a number of holdersof the form shown in Fig. 1 in order to obtain a circle, whereupon thecutters g are secured in the frame thus formed by means of a number ofthe holders shown in Fig. 7 are joined together, while for the form ofdie shown in Fig. 19 those shown in Figs. 1 and 7 are used incombination.

The die shown in Fig. 20 is composed of holders of the form shown inFig. 5 and 6.

The die represented in Fig. 21 is composed of the holders shown in Fig.8 for the ends and Fig. 3 for the sides, while the die-shown in Fig. 22consists of the straight holders shown in Fig. 3 alone.

The shapes obtained by the above combination of the holders correspondwith the inner contour of the frame formed.

By different combinations of the parts in the manner described stillother shapes can be obtained-such as serpentine, for example.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is

In a device for cutting out labels, &c., the combination of slottedcutter-holders formed with end flanges, and means for rigidly unitingthe holders at the point of contact of the adjacent flanges; with aseries of removable cutters, and means for securing them to the holders,all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twowitnesses.

ROBERT GENTSCH.
